On June 1, 2023, the Supreme Court issued a decision in the pending whistleblower cases, United States ex rel. Schutte v. SuperValue and United States ex rel. Proctor v. Safeway. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled against the whistleblowers, finding the retail pharmaceutical companies had reasonably interpreted regulatory requirements and, therefore, could not have knowingly submitted a false claim to the Government. The Supreme Court, however, disagreed.
